acwoodruff 's review for:

The Choice by Edith Eva Eger

5.0

---

If you read one book this year, make it this. This puts all my other 5 star books to shame. It is without a doubt, the best memoir I have read to date. Edith's writing is incredible. She describes emotions and observations in a way that is so visceral that I audibly gasped out loud. One of the most incredible parts of her narrative, however, was not actually her time at Auschwitz but the person she became (allowed herself to be) after becoming free. I am in absolute awe of her. What an incredible role model and human. Please, please, add this to your list.
